"I should get this over with. I'm Frisk, a human from the surface."

Frisk wakes up in the flower bed preceding the ruins.
Looking around, they see nothing truly defining. The room appears to be empty aside from the patch of flowers they are standing on.

Progressing into the opening room of the ruins, they see 15 others.

("So this is who I'm dealing with.")
They look around, two other humans, the rest monsters.

One of the humans approaches them.
"Howdy partner! Names Clover, I believe in Justice 'bove all else, put 'er there!"
Clover awkwardly extends his hand.

They're at an awkward standstill.
"Frisk."
They shake his hand.

The other human looks at them briefly.
"Chara Dreemurr."

They look around.
"Hm"

A short skeletons combing his... skull.
"dudhdhdhd..."

Their eyes narrow.
"What."

The skeleton opens one eye.
"names sans the skeleton."

A taller skeleton appears before them, shaking their hand.
"I AM THE GRRREAT PAPYRUS! Pleasure to meet you, human!"

("This guy has one loose.")

A shy-seeming ghost mumbles.
"M-my name's Napstablook."

("And that'd one's a coward.")

A fish monster with a firey red ponytail appears in front of their face.
"I'M UNDYNE! ROYAL GUARDSWOMAN!"

("Loud.")
They looked around, annoyed by everyone's eccentric introductions.

A maternal seeming goat looked down at them.
"My name is Toriel, my child."

They'd cock their head to the side.
"Your child? I don't see myself being adopted by... that."
They gestured to her.
"I'd be ridiculed."

She appears slightly disheartened.

A regal seeming goat monster looked down at them.
"I'm Asgore Dreemurr, young one."

They look up and down.
"Okay."

A different fish monster speaks up.
"I'm Moray."
Nothing more.

Appearing in front of the human.
"I'M THE MAD DUMMY, YA HEAR?!"

They look at the dummy with ther beyond confused red eyes.
"Sentient twine and stuffing."

It gets in their face.
"YOU CALLIN' ME A PLUSHIE, WISEGUY!?"

They blink before bending down to its level.
"Precisely."

A shy moth flutters forward.
"I-I'm W-Whimsun."

They breathe deeply through their nose.
"I'm getting exhausted."

A shy seeming dinosaur monster speaks up.
"M-My name's A-Alphys, I-I'm the royal sc-scientist."

A robot shoves Alphys out of the way.
"My name is Mettaton, darling. It's a pleasure for you, I'm sure."

Their eye twitches.
"You're vain, and I doubt you're special whatsoever."

A spider cackles.
"Fufufufu! You're awfully judgemental despite being unremarkable in every sense of the word."

Their eyes flick towards the spider.
"Who the hell are you?"

She would proceed to giggle again.
"I am Muffet, puhu!"

A small little creature looks up at them.
"I'm Jerry, no point with any further formalities."

A vampire that was standing off to the side speaks up.
"I am Dalv."
He doesn't reiterate any more.
